Two Irish icons teamed up this past weekend to make this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations go down in history. Normal People’s Paul Mescal and The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri—who is not technically Irish, but for all intents and purposes, she “is” of the Irish people, per a running joke—posed together for a photo captioned “Happy St. Paddy’s” on Instagram. Okay, I’ll cheers to that. Sláinte!
And yet, this adorable pic of the stars—who fans want to date, but are “just friends,” per TMZ—wasn’t the best post of the weekend. Because as soon as famed romance author Emily Henry reposted the photo on her Instagram story, everyone in the world of rom-coms had the same two thoughts: Are these two starring in an adaptation of one of her novels? And if so, which one???
We need answers. But we’re probably not going to get updates anytime soon. So in the meantime, let’s do some forecasting, shall we? Plenty of social media users started playing the guessing game of which book Edebiri and Mescal could star in an adaptation of—since Henry has four books currently released and just three of those are currently in the works to be adapted into movies, it can’t be that hard to figure out.
